Atheists/nonbelievers how do feel about movies and TV shows that depict Christian mythology as real?
  • Hate it. Wish they would knock that shit off, but I’m not going to go picket studios or anything.
  • I’m fine if it’s thought-provoking and supports an entertaining story.
  • I’m fine if it’s thought-provoking and supports an entertaining story, as long as it’s not preachy.
  • I’m fine if it’s thought-provoking and supports an entertaining story, as long as it’s not preachy, but I prefer if it’s critical of the faith.

  • Something else.

When you cut the grass, do you cut the whole strip, or just your half?

  • I just cut my half
  • I discuss it with the neighbor beforehand and cut it as per whatever we agreed.
  • Depends. Do I like this neighbor?

Are you afraid to open up your computer and tinker with the guts?
  • There’s nothing inside a computer I cannot fix. I hope my computer breaks just so I can troubleshoot it and fix it.
  • I fear nothing that could possibly be inside that thing. If I can fix it myself, great I probably saved myself a hundred bucks or so, and if I fail, it was probably beyond me anyways. Bring it on!
  • I have no problem with straightforward things that only involve a screwdriver and watching a few YouTube videos at most, like swapping out GPUs and RAM sticks, maybe even re-applying thermal paste, but I don’t understand how to read a motherboard diagram to say, figure out where to plug in a cable.
  • I’ll open up the case and stare at it, but I’m more or less hoping for God to miracle it fixed at that point.
  • I will call IT support and follow their instructions. I have little to no idea what they are telling me to do, I’m just doing it so hopefully I can get back to whatever it was I was doing before, soon.
  • If something is not working correctly I’m immediately calling someone to just fix it. I don’t know how to fix it and I don’t want to know anything about how to fix it, I just need it to work.
  • Something else.

ETA: Never mind, I get it

mmm

Which of these factors made my previous poll too confusing?

  • Mean Mr Mustard posting a list of what was supposed to be live action sitcoms
  • Gravity Falls being an animated series
  • Little Nemo deciding to point this out in the form of a poll
  • Little Nemo trying to be funny
  • The implication that Mean Mr Mustard thought the animated characters were real
  • The implied analogy to a belief in Santa Claus being real
  • Pretty much the entire post was a bad idea
  • Several of his other posts in this thread are also questionable
  • Why limit it to just this thread?
  • Wait…he’s trying to be funny again, isn’t he?
  • Somebody pretend to laugh so he’ll stop.

  • Just the ones I’ve opened, since the maid is just going to throw them away anyway
  • Sometimes, if they’re especially nice toiletries
  • Sometimes, based on some other factor which I will explain in the discussion thread
  • Nope, I only use them during my stay
  • I don’t even use them during my stay; I always bring my own toiletries

If there were ever a live action version of The Simpsons, which actor would be the best choice to play Ned Flanders?

Why didn’t Mean Mr Mustard include The Andy Griffith Show in his poll?

  • He forgot.
  • He couldn’t remember how to spell “Andy”.
  • He was distracted by those meddling kids and their dog.
  • He thinks it’s a serious documentary about small-town life, not a sitcom.
  • He’ll include it later, under ‘T’.
  • He thought we wouldn’t notice.
  • Other / Strawberry-rhubarb pie
